President Mahama has increased the allowances of Ghanaian peacekeepers by 1 dollar–from the current 30 dollars a day to 31 dollars.
“Together with the armed forces council and the high command, we have decided to increase by one dollar a day the rate that is paid to peace keeping soldiers who go out,” President Mahama said yesterday-Thursday at the Burma camp in Accra.
This increase will benefit every UN mission peacekeeper–and it comes at a time when peacekeepers have been complaining about how little their allowances are and how long it even takes for them to receive payment.
